617. Succeed (6/10)
After he said this, Li Du suddenly became excited.
But he knew that he had to stay calm and could not behave too abnormally, so he waved his hand and said, "No, why are you embarrassed?"
Jim King laughed and said, "What's the point of being polite? Why don't you choose a few oil paintings from me? Which one do you like to take away."
Li Du thought about it for a while and said, "I may be a bit too much for me to do this..."
"Don't be polite, you must be polite!" Jim Jin Sheng said warmly, "But, Lee, I hope you can explain to me and Mr. Ferrari that you and I are friends, and this matter has nothing to do with me."
Li Du patted her chest and said, "Of course, of course, you absolutely have nothing to do with this matter. I swear that the Knight will not cause trouble for you in the future."
Jim Kim asked, "Really?"
Li Du said: "I swear I will do my best to help you get the knight. As for the oil paintings I chose, how about these two Van Gogh paintings?"
Jim Jin took the oil paintings down and handed them to him, saying, "Since you like them, they belong to you."
Holding these two paintings, Li Du was so scared that these were not two picture frames, two paintings, these were tens of millions of dollars!
Jim Jin was very smart. Seeing Li Du holding these two paintings so carefully, he felt something was wrong and asked, "Do you seem to like these two paintings?"
Li Du said: "I like oil painting now, I like all the oil paintings you have here."
Jim King asked tentatively: "Since that's the case, I'll change you two paintings? Actually, I just bought these two oil paintings and have not been cleaned yet. They are not good gifts."
After hearing what he said, Li Du immediately understood that because he was too concerned about these two paintings, this guy began to doubt it.
So he made a quick decision and put the two paintings back on the table without hesitation, saying, "No, forget it, you can win over what you love, right? Let's return these paintings to you, I'll just buy one myself."
Seeing that he put down the painting so happily, Jim Jin's suspicion dissipated a lot. He quickly pushed the oil painting to Li Du and said, "No, Li, you misunderstood me. I just want to give you a better gift."
He murmured in his heart that these two paintings were collected by him from a grocery store, and they could never be genuine. Just look at the canvas. There are small sand sticks on it. How could the authentic one be so damaged?
Also, the most fake thing about this painting is the signature. Van Gogh is a Dutch, and his signatures are all in Dutch.
It is true that Dutch and English are very similar in terms of grammar and letter use. But this is now, but not in the nineteenth century.
The signature of Van Gogh on these two paintings is large and clear, as if he was afraid that others would not know that this was a signature for the painting in modern times in English.
Faced with his re-gift, Li Du refused to accept it. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'd better buy it myself. There must be many imitations of Van Gogh on the Internet, right?"
Jim Jin said enthusiastically: "Don't be polite to me, Lee, if you like, take them away. If there are any oil paintings you like here, you can continue to choose."
Li Du saw it when he released the little flying insect before. Only two paintings here are valuable, while the others are real imitations or fakes, which are not worth anything at all.
However, he still chose two more paintings, which were still works by Van Gogh, one is "Starry Sky" and the other is "Sunflower".
Jim King personally wrapped four paintings for him and said, "If you want to buy oil paintings in the future, you can contact me. I have a lot of experience in this area."
Li Du smiled and said, "I am grateful."
Jim King said: "No, it's nothing, it's just about Mr. Ferrari..."
He was really worried about this matter, so he emphasized it again.
Li Du said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ferrari will not cause trouble for you again!"
"That's good, that's good." Jim-Kim's eyes narrowed into a slit.
However, this matter could have been solved with two paintings, but it turned out that he had to spend four paintings and lost two more paintings in vain. He couldn't laugh at this point.
These paintings are indeed imitations, all fakes, and they are not worth much compared to the authentic ones. However, Jim King collects high-end products from imitations, or are they worth a little money, each of which can be sold for at least a thousand yuan.
Seeing him come back with two oil paintings, Hans asked in surprise: "What is this? Have you been to the exhibition?"
Li Du laughed and said, "How is that possible? This is a gift from Boss Jim-Kin to me."
"Will this old miser give someone a gift? Then he must have asked you for help." A local treasure picker next to him said with a sneer.
Hans signaled him to put down the two paintings and wanted to take him to continue visiting the remaining warehouse.
Li Du is not in the mood to continue visiting now? He has seen all the warehouse anyway, and it is even more clear what is inside.
He waved his hand and said, "Just just deal with these things. Give me a narwhal tooth. You can do whatever else you want. I'm a little tired. I have to go back."
Li Du wants to go back and pack up these two paintings. Today’s gains are really great!
Hans was surprised and said, "Are you a little tired? Why do I think you seem to be very energetic?"
Li Du said, "I'm so tired."
Hans: "…"
On the way back, he called the Playboy and asked him to help contact the Knights, and no longer cause trouble for Jim King.
The playboy said: "After our investigation, this bastard cannot be separated from the kidnapping case."
Li Du said: "Let's forget him, he didn't participate directly anyway, so let him go."
No matter what the relationship is, Jim King has paid a price, enough price.
He asked Godzilla to go out and buy a big box, and put two authentic oil paintings in it.
In fact, oil paintings can be removed from the frame and rolled up for carrying.
But he knew that these two paintings were genuine and had been around for more than a hundred years. The canvas probably couldn't stand the trouble, so it was still more reliable to preserve it in this original way.
Hans came back and gave him a list of the harvest from the warehouse auction.
In addition to the narwhal's teeth, they have another bigger gain, which is a box of watches and gosspring.
The hairspring is the core of the operation of mechanical clocks. Before the hairspring was invented, the mechanical clock relied on the pendulum as an oscillator to achieve energy division and time movement.
In the 17th century, the hairspring invented by Huygens greatly reduced the size of the watch. The emergence of this kind of thing was the basis for the emergence of pocket watches and watches, and the end of the glorious era of pendulum clocks.
